At 12, Kirsten Dunst scored a Golden Globe nod for her breakthrough role in Interview with the Vampire and got the chance to kiss Brad Pitt. Ironically, the young actress told PEOPLE, "It was gross 'cause his lips were so dry."

As a teen, Dunst starred in the beauty-pageant satire Drop Dead Gorgeous, Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides and the cheerleading romp Bring It On. But in 2002, Dunst transformed from indie darling to international star as Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man. As for her private life, the alabaster-skinned fashion plate dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal on-and-off for two years before surprisingly entering rehab in February 2008.
